Martinez vs Warrington 2 live stream: time, card and how to watch boxing title fight anywhere

Former featherweight world champion Josh Warrington will be hoping for redemption tonight as he gets the chance to win the belt back in a title fight with Spanish veteran Kiko Martinez on home turf in Leeds. And you're in the right place to find out all the details on how to watch a Martinez vs Warrington live stream and catch all this weekend's boxing action from almost anywhere in the world on DAZN (opens in new tab).

Warrington opted to vacate his belt last year in a bid to earn his profile showdowns with fellow champs Gary Russell Jr and Xu Can. Those hopes were dashed, however, after a shock defeat to Mauricio Lara last February.

A rematch for Warrington against the Mexican back in September saw the fight end in a technical draw, thanks to a deep cut sustained by the Mexican following a clash of heads.

Warrington's path to those big money bouts would be further complicated after newly-crowned champion Kid Galahad was beaten by rank outsider Martinez for the IBF belt, setting up tonight's big fight.

Martinez, now 37, is a previous IBF super-bantamweight title holder and has a career record of 43 wins, 10 loses and 2 draws.

Tonight's main event provides an exact rematch of their 2017 bout down to the venue, with their last encounter ending in a majority decision over 12 rounds for Warrington.
